The trial was run by the NGO non-profit, IRRI - International Rice
Research Institute. It was founded in 1960 by the Ford Foundation and
the Rockefeller Foundation. In recent years, especially regarding
genetic modification, heavy funding also comes from The Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation.

With all its support, the IRRI is "force-feeding" these GM field trials
on a resisting Philippines - and feeding the world a line of bull about
it.
